I'm laughing at the people who predicted Nintendo Kart this year.

Please no Mario Sports game. Thanks.

Koei Tecmo seems like such a huge company. I don't understand how they remain profitable. Their biggest successes are collabs with other companies.

This reminds me that Tropical Freeze is 8 years old. >_>

@jamesthemagi
Yeah. I just think Nintendo console sales are pretty turbulent. We're excited about Switch reaching 150 million units, but the fad can wear out. I think Nintendo should pace themselves now with Switch and prepare Mario Kart+3D Mario to launch the next console. So it can have the best launch possible.

I hope we have a smoother transition between Switch 1 and Switch 2. It would be a shame if the next console only sells half of the current Switch sales. (DS: 154 m > 3DS: 76 m, Wii: 101 m > WiiU: 13 m)

I'm excited, but I can understand if the series has become stale to others. There are more derivative IPs out there though.

Please keep Pikmin Bloom alive. Thanks.

I'm sure the game is done by now, they just want to have a holiday title and compete against the other Game of the Year candidates.

I only bought Metroid Dread, honestly. I'll replay it some day.

Wherefore art thou Metroid Dread?

Nintendo prioritizes this over Pikmin 4.

The Switch games are the worst ones. Got it.

Pikmin sales can be depressing sometimes. I'm enjoying the app.

Warioware didn't sell 1 million units in its first 3 weeks. Interesting.

I'm glad Sakurai finally has a vacation. Just release Smash Ultimate Complete Edition for the next console.

I'm not a NSO member now and will only buy the basic plan when Splatoon 3 launches.

I'll give it a shot. I've never tried cloud gaming.

Sakurai legit deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Hype responsibly. I won't be disappointed regardless.

I was thinking the exact same thing. 2nd Half 2023 seems the most likely to me for a new DK game. It's obvious that everything Retro Studios was doing prior to Prime 4 has been scrapped and 2022 is already jam packed. We're closing in on a decade since Tropical Freeze was first released.

It's a 3D-World clone. Probably with 4-player co-op.

Smash speculation is exhausting. I will be happy when it finally ends and we can appreciate all that we have.

I'm surprised it's not another remake.

I don't understand why Nintendo prioritized Brain Age/Big Brain over Nintendogs. Brain Age bombed on the 3DS and Switch.

I didn't know I wanted this!

I'm excited!! Even if others aren't.

I'm hoping for Solar Ash and The Pathless on Switch one day.

@blindsquarel
That was mostly Intelligent Systems

@DeathByLasagna
I think it's pandemic-related, but it's frustrating how Nintendo's primary studio is producing less than NDcube and Intelligent Systems for example.

Has Nintendo EPD made any games in the past 1.5 years WITHOUT outsourcing? Game Builder Garage seems to be the only one.

I own a launch Switch, so I will probably buy this as a replacement. I'm not very impressed with the improvements though.

I'm surprised Steve isn't ready yet

We're getting Sol Cresta this year! :3

Nintendo probably wants No More Heroes 3 to have the spotlight for now.

One Zelda game per year. Is that not enough?...

I'm glad they are taking more risks with this one. I'm tired of the generic Mushroom Kingdom settings.

I wish it was DK+Rabbids honestly.

@Devlind
I think you might be right. Splatoon 3 will probably have new movement options like the sub-weapons. I don't know how many new weapon types they can add besides the bow... swords/melee stuff? I guess my thought is Splatoon 3 could have been saved for the Switch successor and shouldn't replace Splatoon 2.

I didn't complain about the similarities between Splatoon 1+2, but I probably will for Splatoon 2+3. I'm definitely buying Splatoon 3, but I don't see how it can be totally different.

Unpopular opinion: I'm kind of glad to see these handheld-only spin-offs not making the jump to switch: Pokemon Rumble, Pokemon Trozei/Shuffle/Picross, Mario+Luigi, Mario vs Donkey Kong, etc. Too much oversaturation for me.

Agreed. Mario Kart is Nintendo's most evergreen franchise. Mario Kart 9 will be a launch title for Switch 2 with ongoing DLC.

Tin & Kuna looks like a neat 3D platformer

Unravel 1 and FIFA 21 are guaranteed

This is already the 4th presentation on this DLC. Enough.

Did this game sell poorly again? I have not seen the game in the US eShop best sellers list.

I want a Nintendo Direct the first week of May before the investors meeting.

I highly doubt we're getting Kingdom Hearts 3 Switch, but the support has been great so far.

I would rather have the Spyro trilogy to be honest.

@Anti-Matter
Haha. I don't see the Xbox One version on the chart!
